Social Media Under Fire After M9 Tragedy | Belfast News

About this episode

Enterprise Minister Peter Burke is sounding the alarm on social media giants, accusing them of endangering society by failing to remove dangerous and illegal content. Triggered by the tragic M9 motorway crash that killed five teenagers, Burke insists these platforms must do more to moderate harmful material — even as they’ve recently laid off staff. He made it clear: child safety trumps profits, and the government won’t hesitate to act if companies continue to put lives at risk. Meanwhile, the community rallies around the injured family in the other car — a child and three women — with vigils and an online fundraiser already raising over 700,000 euro to support them.
